So, this year my wife basically told me now is the time to do what I've always wanted to do and start my own firearms business. We recently moved to Reno, NV and the timing was right to start my own business as the wife landed a sweet job and we don't need two incomes to be comfortable.

So, I formed an LLC, applied for my 07 FFL and even hopped for the 02 SOT (insert evil grin) and now I'm actively advertising my build services and am honestly surprised at the reaction I'm getting. I'm very quickly reaching a scary level of response and while a month ago I was worried about struggling to find customers now I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to keep up with demand.

Basically, I offer high quality build services for several fighting rifle platforms but the bulk of the work revolve around Kalashnikov style rifles: Saiga/Vepr conversions and complete AK builds.

I mean, it's a good feeling to get such a response from people and to have lots of work coming in... but I've seen this happen to people before where they get so swamped with work that either their product quality begins to decline or their delivery times begin to really suffer... causing a negative reaction with their customers. I'm trying to figure out how to keep these things from happening to me.

Thoughts???
